Bradley Donovan

Bradley Donovan is a former childhood friend of Bill Denbrough and a minor
character in the horror novel, It. A sustained lisper with a severe case of
warts, he went to the same speech impediment classes that Bill (who suffered
from chronic stuttering) had also attended.

During one summer evening in 1958, he played a brief match of “pitching
pennies” with Eddie Kaspbrak, Ben Hanscom, and Beverly Marsh (a group of eleven
year olds who were also friends of Bill). Beverly comfortably won the trivial
contest by a large margin.

In the aftermath of the game, Bradley frantically accused her of cheating
(much to Ben’s annoyance). While fleeing away from the three of them in tears, he
made cruel, insolent remarks to Beverly and her mother (even after she had
offered to give his money back).
